Connecting an external audio
source via the AUX/USB sockets
External audio sources such as an iPod
player can be connected to the infotainment sys-
tem via the AUX and USB sockets in the center
console storage compartment (see the illustra-
tion).
AUX/USB sockets
To connect an audio source:
1. Connect your device to one of the sockets.
2. From the media's normal view, press MEDIA,
turn TUNE to the desired audio source, e.g.,
USB , iPod or AUX and press OK/MENU.
Reading USB will appear in the center console
display as the system reads the device's file
structure. The amount of time required for this
depends on the file structure and number of files.

NOTE
•
The system supports a number of iPod
®
or mp3
models produced in 2005 or later.
•
In order to help avoid damage to the USB
socket, it will be switched off if there is a
short circuit or if the connected device
uses too much current (which can hap-
pen if the device does not comply with
the USB standard). The USB socket will
reactivate the next time the ignition is
switched on if the problem no longer
exists. If the problem persists, contact a
trained and authorized Volvo service
technician.

External audio source volume

Set the volume for an external audio device. If
®
the external sound source's volume is too low or
high, the quality of the sound may be impaired.
If an external device such as an MP3 player or an
®
iPod is connected to the AUX socket, the devi-
ce's volume may be different than the volume of
the infotainment system's internal sound sources
such as the radio. To help prevent this, adjust the
input volume of the external audio source. To do
so: From the AUX's normal view, press OK/
MENU. Select AUX input
or Boost .
NOTE
Sound quality may be affected if the MP3
player is being charged while the system is in
AUX mode. To help prevent this, avoid charg-
ing the MP3 player in a 12-volt socket while it
is being played.
